Abstract

Semi-conductive compositions, based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers or chlorinated products thereof, containing carbon black, a silicone compound and an interface crosslink inhibitor, such as a phenol, a quinone, a thiazole or a thiuram sulfide, which find utility as semi-conductive layers about crosslinked polyolefin substrates of electrical conductors.

Description

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to semi-conductive compositions, based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers or chlorinated products thereof, which have adhesion to and strippability from crosslinked polyolefin substrates. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer compositions of this invention containing carbon black, a silicone compound, and an interface crosslink inhibitor, can be extruded as semi-conductive layers about crosslinked polyolefin substrates of electrical conductors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Insulated electrical conductors, i.e. wires and cables, designed for medium to high voltage applications, are generally constructed of a metal core conductor having arranged coaxially around the core conductor, in the order named, an internal semi-conductive layer, a crosslinked polyolefin insulation layer, an external semi-conductive layer, a metal shield layer and an outer protective sheath. Conventionally, the external semi-conductive layer is based on a composition containing an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and carbon black. If it is desired to crosslink the external semi-conductive layer, an organic peroxide is added to the composition.
It is important, for the successful and rapid splicing of wires and cables, that the external semi-conductive layer be strippable from the insulation layer. In order to provide compositions which have adequate adhesion, coupled with strippability, it has been proposed to chemically modify the polymers of the compositions and/or add various additives thereto. For example, it is known that the adhesion between the crosslinked polyolefin insulation layer and the semi-conductive layer can be decreased by increasing the comonomer content, that is, the ethyl acrylate or vinyl acetate content of the ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymers or of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, used in formulating compositions to be used as semi-conductive layers. It is also known that a desired level of strippability can be achieved by chlorinating the ethylene copolymers rather than by increasing the monomer content thereof.
As to additives, it is known that strippability of the semi-conductive layer from the crosslinked polyolefin insulation layer can be improved by the addition to the composition of the semi-conductive layer, of silicone oil such as liquid dimethyl polysiloxane.
These and other such measures, however, have not proved to be particularly effective. Compositions containing chlorinated ethylene copolymers exhibit inferior mechanical properties and poorer thermal stability when used as external semi-conductive layers of electrical power cables. Also, silicone oil is not completely compatible with ethylene copolymers and in time, oozes out of the compositions when used in amounts sufficient to improve strippability, generally in excess of 5 percent by weight. Furthermore, the addition of silicone oil, in amounts sufficient to improve strippability, degrades mechanical properties, particularly elongation, of the resultant composition.
Stripping of the external semi-conductive layer from the crosslinked polyolefin insulation layer has become a more pressing problem in view of more recent extrusion techniques. According to recent technology, insulated electrical conductors are manufactured by coextrusion by which three layers, the internal semi-conductive layer, the crosslinked polyolefin insulation layer and the external semi-conductive layer are extruded simultaneously, employing coaxial extruders, and subsequently cured in a single operation. In one aspect, this method of manufacture is advantageous in that it results in the close bonding of the three layers, eliminating partial delamination and void formation between layers, caused, during normal use, by flexure and heat. This, in turn, prevents corona deterioration and other insulation degradation. On the other hand, such a method of manufacture presents problems of strippability due to the high bond strength between the crosslinked polyolefin insulation layer and the external semi-conductive layer, caused by formation of crosslinking bonds across their interface.
As stated, it is important that the external semi-conductive layer adhere to the insulation layer, but it is also important that it can be stripped off relatively easy in a short period of time. For purposes of terminating a cable or for splicing a cable, for example, the external semi-conductive layer has to be removed from the insulation layer over a certain distance from the end of the cable.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides semi-conductive compositions which, having a controlled degree of strippability, find utility as semi-conductive layers bonded to crosslinked polyolefin insulation layers of electrical wires and cables. Semi-conductive layers, extruded from the compositions of this invention, have adequate adhesion to the crosslinked polyolefin insulation layers of insulated conductors and have controlled strippability therefrom that permits the semi-conductive layer to be stripped from the insulation layer when necessary for installation, repair or splicing.
The compositions of this invention comprise an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or chlorinated product thereof, carbon black, a silicone compound and an interface crosslink inhibitor which can be a phenol, a quinone, a thiazole or a thiuram sulfide.

Among carbon blacks which can be added to the compositions of this invention for the purpose of rendering the compositions semi-conductive are furnace black, acetylene black, channel black, Ketjen black and the like. Highly conductive blacks such as Ketjen black EC are preferred as lesser amounts are necessary in order to make the composition semi-conductive.

Compositions of this invention are prepared using the materials in the amounts specified below, based on 100 parts by weight ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or chlorinated ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
Carbon Black-amounts sufficient to render the composition semi-conductive, generally 40 to 100 parts by weight. The quantity may be reduced to 5 to 50 parts by weight in the case of highly conductive carbon black having a large surface area such as Ketjen black EC.
Silicone compounds-generally 0.3 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 0.3 to 2.5 parts by weight.
Interface crosslink inhibitors-generally 0.01 to 1.5 parts by weight. Under this range, sufficient effect is not obtained; and over this range, oozing occurs, with passage of time after molding.
The semi-conductive compositions of this invention can be crosslinked by organic peroxides such as di-α-cumyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-(tertiary-butyl-peroxy)hexyne-3 and the like as further disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,954,907 and 4,017,852.

Sheets, 150 mm by 180 mm by 2.0 mm thick, were also formed as described above from a composition comprising polyethylene, antioxidant and di-α-cumyl peroxide wherein the antioxidant was present in an amount of 0.2 percent by weight and the di-α-cumyl peroxide was present in an amount of 2 percent by weight.
Laminates were prepared by placing a sheet formed from the semi-conductive composition, based on an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, over a sheet formed from the polyethylene composition and laminating the sheets together, using a compression molder, under the following conditions:

Test specimens, 100 mm by 120 mm, were punched from the laminated sheets and tested for strippability on a tensile testing machine. The two layers of each specimen were separated at a speed of 500 mm/min at a temperature of 23° C., the angle of the semi-conductive layer being 90° with respect to the polyethylene layer. Force required to separate the two layers was regarded as the "stripping strength" in terms of kg/10 mm.
Data with respect to compositions of this invention are set forth in Table I. Data with respect to "Controls" are set forth in Table II.
The phrase "having both adhesion and strippability" as used in this specification with respect to the compositions, means that a force of at least 0.3 kg/10 mm is required to remove the semi-conductive layer from the insulation layer. A semi-conductive layer that requires a stripping force under this limit is liable to separate from the insulation layer when the cable is bent during use, thus impairing insulation properties.
Abbreviations and symbols used in Tables I and II have the following meaning:
EVA--ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 28 percent by weight vinyl acetate and having a melt index of 6 g/10 min.
Cl-EVA--chlorinated ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 25 percent by weight chlorine prepared by chlorinating EVA.
Silicone--Compound A--silicone block copolymer having the following repeating unit: ##STR2## wherein R is a C22 alkyl group. Silicone--Compound B--silicone block copolymer having the following repeating unit: ##STR3## wherein R is the residium of polypropylene glycol. Interface crosslink inhibitor X: 2,2'-methylene-bis(4-methyl-6-t-butylphenol)
Interface crosslink inhibitor Y: 2-mercapto-benzothiazole
Interface crosslink inhibitor Z: 4,4'-thiobis(6-t-butyl-2-methyl phenol)
"Broken" given in the column of stripping strength means that the specimen was broken before separation occured.
Marks "i" and "s" in the column of degree of crosslink mean that the specimen was insoluble and soluble, respectively, in hot toluene at 90° C.

The data of the tables show that in cases wherein the silicone compound was used alone, satisfactory strippability was not obtained. This was true regardless of the type of silicone compound and even though 3 parts by weight silicone compound were used, based on 100 parts by weight of polymer. When the silicone compound was used in amounts greater than 5 parts by weight, mixing, in the preparation of the composition, became difficult or the mechanical properties of the resultant composition were poorer.
When the interface crosslink inhibitor was used alone, strippability was still poor at 1.5 parts by weight and oozing occurred at this concentration.
These disadvantages were eliminated when the silicone compound and crosslink inhibitor were used in combination. Also, the combined use of these two components resulted in a reduction of the quantity added.
As a result of the synergistic effect of the combined use of the silicone compound and the crosslink inhibitor, strippability can be improved with less amount of additives. Not only does this decrease the cost of the semi-conductive composition but, in addition, provides the following unexpected results: absence of oozing of the additives to the surface of the composition, improvement in moldability, improvement of surface smoothness, decrease of staining of dies and molds and improvement of mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation.
